Description: IN 1983, MANTAK CHIA INTRODUCED THE MICROCOSMIC ORBIT TO THE WEST.  PRIOR TO THAT TIME, MOST OF THE EASTERN ENERGY PRACTICES TRANSMITED TO THE WEST WERE INCOMPLETE, DEALING ONLY WITH THE ASCENDING YANG/MASCULINE CHANNEL, WHICH SHOOTS LIFE FORCE ENERGY UP THE SPINE.  THE MICROCOSMIC ORBIT SHOWED PRACITIONERS HOW TO ESTABLISH THE DESCENDING YIN/FEMININE CHANNEL OF THE LIFE FORCE ENERGY LOOP.  WITHIN TAOIST SYSTEMS, CULTIVATING FEMININE ENERGY HAS ALWAYS BEEN SEEN AS THE KEY TO GAINING BALANCE AND WHOLENESS.

HEALING LIGHT OF THE TAO PRESENTS BOTH INTRODUCTORY AND MORE ADVANCED METHODS OF CHI CULTIVATION IN THE MICROCOSMIC ORBIT, OFFERING A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF TAOIST SPIRITUAL THEORY THROUGH ITS COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF THE COMPLETE TAOIST BODY/MIND/SPIRIT SYSTEM.  THE BOOK ALSO INCLUDES MORE ADVANCED MEDITATION METHODS FOR ABSORBING THE HIGHER FREQUENCIES OF EARTH FORCE, COSMIC FORCE, AND UNIVERSAL FORCE (HEAVENLY CHI) INTO THE BASIC ORBIT.  IT ESTABLISHES A SPIRITUAL SCIENCE THAT NOT ONLY EMPHASIZES PRACTICAL BENEFITS TO HEALTH, SEXUAL VITALITY, AND EMOTIONAL BALANCE BUT ALSO SHOWS HOW CHANGES MADE IN THE ENERGY BODY CAN LEAD TO THE PHYSICAL REJUVENATION THAT THE TAOISTS CALL IMMORTALITY.
